There's lots of "diet wars" out there and plenty of jabs and punches thrown on social media from one plan to another, but honestly, there's so much we can all agree on.

What I've learned in my 51 years is that there is no one single, correct, perfect diet plan or approach out there that will work for every single person forever.

There IS, however, so simple foundations from which we can all start from, then customize and layer on additional habits as best suits our unique body and season.

I love empowering women to do this - taking control and ownership of their health journey, making it their own, and walking confidently in that while also cheering other mamas on as they do the same.... even if it looks a little different.

Because really, it should look different for each of us. We aren't the same and we don't have the same goals or lives. And that's a beautiful thing!

And thank goodness we can all agree - butter and eggs are GOOOOOD!!! ;)

Teachers asked so we had a big chat about it!!!
Back to school time is CRUNCH time for parents, students, and especially teachers who are also parents!!

Teachers in my free Foxy Over Forty community group asked for ideas for breakfast and lunch when mornings come extra early and lunch break isn't really a break!

Since I used to teach 3rd grade, I can totally identify and offer what I'd do if I showed back up in the classroom next week!

And while I was speaking directly to teachers, this chat is for anyone who works outside the home and needs to pack nourishing meals.

School is starting back and teachers are trying to figure out how to eat WELL despite early mornings and rushed lunch periods.I used to teach elementary scho...

Garden-fresh zucchini slices from Gdaddy & "Lil' Sis Guacamole" made by my 2nd oldest --- perfect Veggitizer to start my dinner!

Recipe for the ahhhhmazing guac here >>> https://coachmamafox.com/lil-sis-guacamole/

In case you're wondering -
1. I ate about half of this at the beginning of my meal, then the rest alongside my meal. :)
2. For dinner, we had salmon, fajita seasoned cauli rice, & fresh tomatoes; I also served mexi-seasoned beans for those who wanted a little more carb - as well as siete chips for the teens in the house. :)
3. To close out my dinner, I had a creamy cup of decaf coffee, then went on a walk with hubby and two of our kids.

Mamas asked, so let's chat!!!

I'll be sharing what I'd personally do if I still taught 3rd grade and left home at 6am each day like I used to! 🙂

This convo will hopefully help our teachers here in this group, but also any mamas who may be working outside the home and having to leave EARLY. ❤

Come join the convo over in Foxy Over Forty - a FREE, vibrant, encouraging community for ladies who are over 40 (and beyond!) and are desiring to live an anti-inflammatory, insulin-supportive, and hormone-honoring life!

Can't eat just one.... because many of those "healthy short cuts" are addictive and unfulfilling. It took me a while to realize this and honestly... it kinda made me sad. I *wanted* a quick fix but I finally got to the point where I wanted RESULTS more.

Once I broke up with short cuts and prepackaged "healthy" snacks/foods and started building truly nourishing meals that met my body's needs and supportive my hormones, my taste buds and habits changed.

Now, not tempted. I'd rather NOURISH to FLOURISH instead of try to mimic the Standard American Diet with supposed healthy short cuts and treats that only make my cravings go nutty.

Love this idea. How a woman thinks, so is she.

Keeping commitments to myself on Sunday to help out my Tuesday self.

Batch cooked a bunch of chicken breasts in the Instapot then shredded for use throughout the week.

Easy, no excuses protein. 👍

Cooking up several pounds of ground beef as well as steaming a huge bag of cauliflower rice later today.

We'll use and season as we go throughout the week.

What are you doing today to help your Tuesday self?

You don't have to keep doing something that is no longer serving you in your current season of life. You get to decide what works for you, what doesn't, and what you're taking with you into the next month.

No guilt, no shame. Maybe a habit helped you get to where you are now, but it just doesn't fit in with your life, needs, or desires right now. That's okay. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you need (or want) to do things differently.

And you don't need my permission either... but if it helps... you can have it, sister! ;)

YOU get to decide what goes forward with you as you aim to be your best, healthiest self next month. That's really what we all want and even if we have different ways of doing that, we can (and should!) cheer each other on as we work on our personal growth goals and show up for ourselves!

I am cheering you on as YOU decide what that looks like for YOU!

Maybe not *quite*, but.... 🤣🤣🤣
I DO tend to collect positive thinking and mindset books and I DON'T like to answer the doorbell, lol!

TGIF, ladies! My weekend plans include reading my newest positive mindset book purchase - Dr. Josh Axe's "Think This, Not That" :)

What book are you currently reading?

I used to aim for a couple of these awards myself, but now I know that there's no trophies waiting for me on the other side of these.

What I *am* aiming for, though -
Trying my best.
Being a learner.
Accepting help.
Celebrating progress... even when it's small.
Keeping a clean(ish) house - emphasis on the "ish"
Using clean foods 90% of the time and not fretting it when I don't (like at a restaurant)
Doing what *I* need to do for my health and wellness and knowing that this overflows in beautiful ways to those I love... even if they choose differently

What is something you've been unintentionally aiming for that isn't serving you well? And how can you flip that script so that you are aiming for what you truly want?
